    I must have missed the bit where the government wanted to adopt herd immunity.

    We also had Ebola, H1N1 and SARS over the last 15 years or so. Are you going to lock down the ports and airports for months or years at a time every time one of these shows up? You'll be the first one moaning that FDI won't come here anymore and that Irish citizens can't get produce or medicine

    Not the first time someone's made something up completely out of thin air.

    There's was a choice to be made. fg chose people dying in an attempt to save the economy. It has failed spectacularly. People are going to die in large numbers and the economy will collapse.

    Have you got a single verifiable quote to show that herd immunity was EVER the FG strategy?

    Worth a look the four stages. More that a hint of truth.

    As in did they come out and say they're going to let the old and sick die? Of course not, that was their strategy though and it's backfired on them and all of us.

    But you make up alot of things in fairness.

    You made up that Ireland had a policy to let people die.

    Shame on you.

    Not only was that the policy, it's now the reality. This is going to explode, large numbers are going to die. When the reality hits then all of you will change your tune.

    Could we have stopped this? The short answer is no. But we could have cancelled flights and stopped as many clusters as we have and delayed it coming in my opinion. Also lessened it's take off here.
    Cheltenham, Italian flights without quarantine must have been big factors.
    The Government should have acted sooner and I said this in another thread but in fairness they acted sooner than I expected them to do.
